Brackley Beach

The beds at the cabin were less than ideal, but we all managed to sleep and feel somewhat rested for our day at the beach. While the kids slept in, I got the cooler ready for the beach and J. headed to Tim Horton's to grab coffee and breakfast for us.
We managed to be ready by about 10:45 and were off to Brackley Beach (a part of PEI National Park). Sadly, we got lost along the way and this added some time to our drive. After being redirected by a park attendant, we found the beach at around 11:30am.
Brackley Beach is beautiful! From the white sand, to the whitecaps, to the cool water, the big beach was inviting and lovely. We set up our chairs, our umbrella, and our toys and got to playing. The waves were huge and the water was quite cool, but it didn't stop us from enjoying everything about the beach.

The water was cool and the waves were big!

Enjoying a snack.

J. and K. dug a big hole in the sand.

We had bought some inner tubes for the kids to enjoy, but when we asked the lifeguards if we could use them within the swim boundaries, we were told we could only use them outside of them. G. LOVED playing on his tube in the waves and even met some other boys enjoying the waves.

K. found a little girl to play with who was catching jellyfish and putting them into an area away from the swimmers. My little K. was in her glory catching and petting baby jellyfish. Because they were small, the Jellyfish didn't yet have the dangerous tentacles, so the kids were safe.

By about 4:00pm, we were all beached-out and headed back to the cabin for dinner. Tonight, we decided to have a scratch dinner. G. had PB&J and K. had grilled cheese. J. had a veggie sausage dog and I had leftovers from my meal the night before.
After dinner, we made a huge fire and cooked some s'mores. It was a lovely end to a great day.

Every cabin had a great little fire pit ready for roasting s'mores.

S'mores fresh off the fire!
